  10. 4th edition sponsored by CLEAPSS The Gardiner Building, Brunel Science Park, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge UB8 3PQ SSERC 2 Pitreavie Court, Pitreavie Business Park, Dunfermline, Fife KY11 8UB

  11. Who and how? • Initial discussions between ASE Safeguards in Science Committee and ASE Primary Science Committee • Review of non-UK editions for ideas • Writing weekend involving safety experts and primary science practitioners from across the UK, sponsored by CLEAPSS & SSERC

  12. … and then? • A conscious attempt to avoid educational language which was specific to different parts of the UK • Three successive drafts, seen by a wider group including all members of ASE Safeguards in Science Committee, ASE Primary Science Committee and Primary Science Editorial Board and others

  13. ... and it went on • Of course, many of the comments were mutually incompatible • Drafts sent to government education departments across the UK and to the HSE • An election in the middle of this process did not help!

  14. What’s new? • A slightly changed sub-title Health and safety in school science and technology for teachers of 3- to 12-year-olds • Because there is a new section on Science for under-5s • Expanded coverage of Studies out of the classroom, now including gardening and composting

  15. … and • More about OurselvesandHygiene • More emphasis on teaching health and safety using science and technology • A re-written section on electricity • An expanded section on Making things, now also covering textiles, pottery, plaster of Paris

  16. … and • A new section on Taking it furtherfor those involved in primary/secondary liaison or with access to laboratory-style accommodation • An attempt to rebut such myths as bans on the use of egg boxes and toilet roll centres • Most other sections have had at least minor revisions • The order has been changed

  17. Freebies The new section on Ourselves and our senses includes an illustrated Safety Code for hand-washing.

  18. This will be available as a poster, free to members as a download from the ASE web site at http://www.ase.org.uk/resources/health-and-safety-resources/health-and-safety-primary-science/

  19. … and There are references to articles in Primary Science (Review), eg on Safety and the school pond and Safety in out-of-school science Members will be able to access these on the ASE web site, under the resources/health&safety/primary tab

  20. We are also producing a Welsh language version as a pdf, which will be available as a priced publication from the ASE web site or Booksales

  21. Be safe! INSET pack • The 2nd edition (2002) of theBe safe! INSET Pack can still be used for training teachers, because the main messages remain unchanged • There will not be a new edition of theBe safe! INSET Pack BUT the page references are wrong • An Update sheet will be available from ASE Booksales or as a download from the ASE web site, free for members

  22. Curriculum requirements When working with tools, equipment and materials, in practical activities and in different environments, including those that are unfamiliar, pupils should be taught: • about hazards, risks and risk control • to recognise hazards, assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others • to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks • to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others • to explain the steps they take to control risks. Specific statements in Sc1, BoS and D&T (food only)

  23. Assessing H&S No explicit mention in level statements for Sc or D&T APP includes in AF4 • L3 Recognise obvious risks when prompted • L4 Identify possible risks to themselves and others • L5 Make, and act on, suggestions to control obvious risks to themselves and others
